Problem with STYLEREF and IF

[Fambrius]

Hello.

I'm trying to do what is discussed in
http://groups.google.com.au/group/m...read/thread/75edec3265f57b71/f136ec54f4fbefad

But the problem I have is that I put the following code in my Word 2003 SP2
in Spanish document:
{ IF 1 < 2 {STYLEREF 2} 4 }

And it is converted into:
{STYLEREF

It seems that it doesn't "compile" {STYLEREF 2}.

I have also tried the following code:
{ IF 1 < 2 "{STYLEREF 2}" 4 }
but it generates:
{STYLEREF 2}

Anyone can imagine why my Word document doesn't convert the STYLEREF into
the words that are contained into my heading?

Thanks in advance.

Are you inserting the StyleRef field by pressing Ctrl+F9 rather than just
typing the braces?

If I understand your description correctly, you see the text "{STYLEREF" or
"{STYLERF 2}" in your document after updating the field(s).

I made a test and found that I could produce something similar if I entered
no. 2 and no. 3 bracket as "normal" characters - i.e. not by pressing
Ctrl+F9. Field brackets must always be created by pressing Ctrl+F9 - they
cannot be typed.

I suggest you try to recreate the field code, making sure to use Ctrl+F9,
and see whether that solves the problem.

Note: If you turn on formatting marks (Ctrl+Shift+8); correctly inserted
field brackets will be surrounded by a tiny, dotted outline whereas "normal"
character brackets have no outline.

Hello.

I created the main braces with Ctrl+F9, but I typed the inner braces :-(

Thank you very much, now it works. I didn't see anywhere in the
documentation that the inner braces had to be created with Ctrl+F9 also.

Thanks again

Hello.

You're right, I hadn't created the inner braces with Ctrl+F9.

Thank you very much

No field boundaries can be simply typed from the keyboard.

The only way to create a field by hand (other than by using Insert | Field)
is by pressing Ctrl+F9, either before typing the field code or after (with
it selected).
